AL.com: “A small group of protesters gathered Friday at Big Spring Park in downtown Huntsville, asking for the release of the body camera footage following the death of 43-year-old Sterling Keyon Arnold at the hands of police on Sept. 14.
The release of the bodycam footage is vital for police accountability, Iris Billiter, one of the protesters, told AL.com.
“If they don’t release the tapes, then we have no idea what actually happened,” she told AL.com during the protest, which saw the group move across downtown Huntsville shouting various protest slogans.
“If you’re blameless in how you’re carrying things out, there would be no reason why you wouldn’t release the tapes and show the public that the way it was handled was completely above board,” she added.”
